Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (11)
Part A: Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Functional Dupilumab
Serum concentration of functional dupilumab was reported.
Post-dose on Days 1, 3, 8, 18, and 29
Part A: Dose Normalized Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax/Dose) of Dupilumab
Dose normalized was calculated as Cmax obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve divided by dose. Cmax/dose was measured in Milligrams per Liter/Milligrams per Kilogram (\[mg/L\]/\[mg/kg\]).
Post-dose on Days 1, 3, 8, 18, and 29
Part A: Time to Reach the Maximum Serum Concentration (Tmax) of Dupilumab
Tmax was obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve.
Post-dose on Days 1, 3, 8, 18, and 29
Part A: Last Quantifiable Serum Concentration (Clast) of Dupilumab
Clast is the last measurable serum concentration of dupilumab.
Post-dose on Days 1, 3, 8, 18, and 29
Part A: Time of the Last Quantifiable Serum Concentration (Tlast) of Dupilumab
Tlast was defined as the last time point with a measurable serum concentration of dupilumab.
Post-dose on Days 1, 3, 8, 18, and 29
Part A: Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Measurable Concentration (AUClast) of Dupilumab
AUClast was defined as area under the serum concentration time-curve from zero to the last measured concentration.
Post-dose on Days 1, 3, 8, 18, and 29
Part A: Dose Normalized Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Measurable Concentration (AUClast/Dose) of Dupilumab
Dose normalized AUClast was calculated by AUClast/dose.
Post-dose on Days 1, 3, 8, 18, and 29
Part A: Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug which may/may not have a causal relationship with study drug. Serious AE (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of following outcomes: death, life-threatening, required initial/prolonged in-participant hospitalization, persistent/significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect/considered as medically important event. TEAE was defined as AE starting/worsening after first intake of study drug. TEAEs included participants with both SAEs and non-SAEs. Number of participants with TEAEs is reported.
Baseline up to Week 4
Part A: Number of Participants With TEAEs by Severity According to Qualitative Toxicity Scale
Severity of TEAEs were graded using Qualitative Toxicity Scale, as follows: Mild: Participant is aware of the event or symptom, but the event or symptom is easily tolerated; Moderate: Participant experiences sufficient discomfort to interfere with or reduce his or her usual level of activity; Severe: Significant impairment of functioning: the participant is unable to carry out his or her usual activities. Number of participants with TEAEs by severity were reported.
Baseline up to Week 4
Part B: Percentage of Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score 0 or 1 at Week 16
The IGA is an assessment scale used in clinical studies to rate the severity of AD globally, based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 to 4 where 0 = clear; 1=almost clear; 2=mild; 3=moderate; 4=severe. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement. Percentage of participants with IGA score of '0' or '1' is reported.
Week 16
Part B: Percentage of Participants With Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) -75 (EASI-75) (≥75% Improvement From Baseline) at Week 16
The EASI score is used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measured erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper, and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores indicating the worse severity of AD. EASI-75 responders were the participants who achieved ≥75% overall improvement in EASI score from baseline at Week 16.
